I'd wouldn't mind seeing National Review go along with its founder. NR today is no different from any other neoconservative rag.

For those with a preference for ponderous polysyballic prose a sesquipedalian turn of verbiage becomes an addiction of brobdinagian proportions.
Of course if one wishes to communicate it might be advisable to be less showy in ones choice of words.

How very appropriate! (I'm sure there's is a better word for "very appropriate", but too bad)
